Mahmoud Qabil announces new TV role

Egyptian actor Mahmoud Qabil has spoken exclusively to Arabstoday about his role in the series “El Bahr Wal Atshana” (The Sea and the Thirsty). "This is the role of a lifetime, and is completely different...this year I was able to breakout of the romantic roles I was accustomed to playing, the last one being in 'Imraa fe Warta' (A Woman in Trouble) with actress Elham Shahen whom we introduced last year.” He continued: "I decided to go beyond the romantic role directors usually put me in, so I payed the character of Khamees as well as I could, with a gamut of emotions. He is a Sheikh in an Islamic group, which required me to change the tone of my voice!"
